RAYLEIGH Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RAYLEIGH sales between February 2002 and May 2012 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the September 2007 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
